As long as her blood merges with the divine veins, the Star Monument can be lit up again.

Everyone held their breath involuntarily, intending to witness the return of the Star Monument with their own eyes.

The blood bead had already flown to the divine vein and was about to merge with it, but at this moment, the originally calm divine vein suddenly shook violently, and the blood bead in front of it was suddenly bounced away! Snap -

Drops of blood fell, and a blood flower bloomed on the ground.

Everyone's eyes suddenly widened. What, what, what is going on?

Why didn't the blood bead and the divine vein merge? ? The person involved, Ning Xi, was also confused. She subconsciously looked at Zhan Wuxie beside her.

Zhan Wuxie said calmly, "The divine vein has been dormant for a thousand years. It is normal for it to have some temper after waking up. We can merge them if we try again."

The disciples understood what was happening and believed Zhan Wuxie's words without a doubt.

It's normal for the divine vein to have a bit of temper! Ning Xi immediately waved away another drop of blood, and as expected, it was bounced away by the divine vein again.

She didn't believe it, and threw another drop of blood towards the divine vein, but her blood failed to merge with the divine vein three times in a row! Ning Xi instantly lost her composure, and Zhan Wuxie also looked solemn.

The disciples below looked at each other, all confused.

Just when everyone was puzzled, a sneer came from behind them.

"Ning Xi, is this divine vein really yours?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind the crowd. Ning Xi looked up in disbelief and looked towards the source of the voice.

All the disciples subconsciously took two steps back to both sides, leaving a path leading directly to the Jiuyou Terrace.

Jiang Li, who was standing behind the crowd, walked slowly along the path. Everyone only felt a fragrant breeze passing by them, and when they came to their senses, Jiang Li was already standing in front of the Jiuyou Terrace.

Ning Xi stared at her intently, as if he wanted to see through her.

Wasn't Jiang Li thrown into the Demonic Gorge? How did she appear here?

Could it be that Jing Ye was lying to her? Doubts came to Ning Xi's mind one after another. Before she could figure out the answer, Jiang Li's voice came again.

"Ning Xi, is this divine vein really yours?"

Jiang Li asked the same question again. She looked up at Ning Xi with a hint of mockery on her lips.

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Ning Xi's face very quickly.

The divine vein in her body was dug out from Jiang Li's body by Zhan Wuxie. Ning Xi knew this, but Jiang Li didn't know it.

Now Jiang Li asked like this, did she know something? Thinking of this possibility, Ning Xi felt a little uneasy, and her mind raced as she thought of a countermeasure.

The stalemate is coming——

"Evil creature! Who allowed you to address Xuannv by her name? Get out of here now!"

Zhan Wuxie sneered with a sullen face, looking at Jiang Li with unkind eyes.

I thought that according to Jiang Li's personality, she would run away immediately after hearing his scolding, but she stood there without moving.

Jiang Li's gaze shifted from Ning Xi's face to Zhan Wuxie's face.

She completely ignored the anger on Zhan Wuxie's face and expressed her doubts.

"Master, I'm just curious, since Junior Sister Ning Xi is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, why can't her blood and divine veins blend together?"

Jiang Li just expressed the doubts in everyone's mind. Everyone who was originally dissatisfied with her attitude towards Ning Xi now pricked up their ears.

Zhan Wuxie frowned and looked at her, saying in a deep voice: "Thousands of years ago, Xuannu was seriously injured while protecting the common people. She fell asleep for thousands of years, and her divine veins were also sealed. Now she has just awakened and her divine power has not yet recovered."

"After Xuannv recuperates for a while, she will be able to regain control of her divine power. Do you have any objections to this?"

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows slightly: "So that's how it is. Just now, when I saw the divine vein was so repulsive, I thought this divine vein was not Ning Xi's."

Jiang Li said nothing, but watched Zhan Wuxie direct and act out the show quietly.

Zhan Wuxie's acting skills obviously did not disappoint her.

He looked at Jiang Li with disappointment, his voice full of grief.

"Jiang Li, Xuan Nu saved people from disasters. We are all standing here because of Xuan Nu's blessing. How can you be so disrespectful to her?"

"What did your teacher teach you? You should be grateful for everything and treat others with courtesy. But you turned a deaf ear to my teachings and spoke disrespectfully to Xuannv. Aren't you afraid of chilling Xuannv's heart?!"

Zhan Wuxie closed his eyes in disappointment, and when he opened them again, there was determination in his eyes.

He looked at Jiang Li and said righteously, "We respect Xuannu as a god and will never allow anyone to offend! Since you don't listen to my teachings, from today on, you are no longer a member of Lingxiao Palace, and this sect master does not have a disciple like you!"

Zhan Wuxie took the opportunity to expel Jiang Li from the sect.

Now that Jiang Li's cultivation was completely wasted, she was of no use to him, and keeping her by his side would be a disaster.

Seeing that everything that once belonged to Jiang Li was now taken away by herself, Ning Xi felt extremely proud.

Zhan Wuxie had already given her a way out, so naturally she had to follow it.

Ning Xi secretly cast a spell to make his face paler, then he held his forehead with one hand, looking tired.

He couldn't stand steadily and staggered back two steps.

"Xuan Nu!"

Zhan Wuxie hurriedly supported her, and the disciples below also looked nervous, fearing that Ning Xi might encounter an accident.

Ning Xi smiled weakly: "It's okay, maybe my body is still a little weak after just awakening the divine vein, I will be fine after a short rest."

"I will help Xuan Nu go back to rest first. There is no rush to light up the Star Monument. We can discuss it after Xuan Nu recovers."

Zhan Wuxie secretly exchanged a glance with Ning Xi, and Ning Xi immediately cast a spell to retract the phantom of the divine vein floating in the air.

The moment the spiritual power flew out, Ning Xi suddenly discovered that her divine veins were no longer under her control!

Ning Xi gritted her teeth and hurriedly increased her spiritual power. If she couldn't recover her divine vein today, her identity would definitely arouse suspicion!

As Ning Xi added spiritual power, the divine vein suspended in the air finally moved.

Just when Ning Xi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the divine vein suddenly shifted towards Jiang Li's location!

Zhan Wuxie also noticed something was wrong, and he hurriedly cast a spell in secret to control the divine vein together with Ning Xi. Finally, with the combined efforts of the two, the divine vein returned to Ning Xi's body.

That was a close call.

Zhan Wuxie and Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief. In order to prevent any further accidents from happening, they quickly left Jiuyoutai.

"Jiang Li, you still have the nerve to come back!"

An angry shout came from behind. Jiang Li turned around slowly, and Jing Ye's angry face immediately came into her sight.

Jing Ye stared at Jiang Li intently, and finally accepted the fact that she was still alive.

The others had no idea what Jing Ye meant and looked at Jiang Li angrily.

"Jiang Li, who gave you the courage to offend Xuan Nu? If you want to die, go die far away, don't take us with you!"

"That's right! Xuannv is the god who protects the human world. How can you offend her?"

"If you dare to offend Xuannv again, don't blame us for being rude to you!"
